Roundabout Theatre Company has announced additional casting for its upcoming Broadway revival of Betty Comden, Adolph Green, and Cy Coleman's On the Twentieth Century, directed by Scott Ellis.

Joining the previously announced Kristin Chenoweth and Peter Gallagher in the cast will be Tony nominee Andy Karl (Rocky) as Bruce Granit, Mark Linn-Baker (You Can't Take It With You) as Oliver Webb, Tony winner Michael McGrath (Nice Work If You Can Get It) as Owen O'Malley, and Tony winner Mary Louise Wilson (Grey Gardens) as Letitia Primrose.

The musical, which won 1978 Tony Awards for its book and score, follows bankrupt theater producer Oscar Jaffe (Gallagher), as he embarks on a madcap mission to cajole the glamorous Hollywood starlet Lily Garland (Chenoweth) into playing the lead in his new, nonexistent epic drama.

Performances begin at the American Airlines Theatre on February 12, 2015, in advance of a March 12 opening.
